Hi Anu
Very nice to know that the thread was very usefulThanks for the kind words
Yes I do have the time and inclination. But I am also very happy to note that our members are doing good trades and there are hardly any doubts. So the relief is for me
Also I think people neither have the time nor the patience to read through verbose techno-fundamental analysis of the stocks. They rather prefer straight calls like Buy Timbaktoo Ltd at xxx , target yyy and stop loss zzz. And too hoots to reasoning
If somebody is asking for a reason then he is pulled up. Take a recent instance when Mohanlate asked for reasons for a call and people jumped on him.
Look at great threads like Good steals and New Intermediate Trend. Once the authors declared that there will no more calls these threads lost the interest from the members.
I am not against calls unless they not backed up with whatever technical or fundamental reasons.
Coming to the current market situation, the watchword is Wait especially for small investors like us. The worst many not be over.
The Bulls who had a beating during the recent fall are not going to come back easily. Friday saw lot of selling at higher levels. When the FII pulled out about $1.5 billion the Mutual funds have pumped in about Rs.70 billion. The market situation is still little uncertain as of now. One positive aspect is that the FIIs would not kill the golden goose too soon.
However the Long-term story is still Bullish. In the short term we may see some sideways movements. A fall below 3070 for the nifty would definitely spell trouble and it is absolutely necessary to keep above the Black Monday low of 2896.
So in my opinion the short and medium term traders should stand aside as now. Long-term investors can pick up some of the frontline blue chips and avoid the small and mipcaps. It was heartwarming to see some of members pick up nice blue chips at great bargain price on last Monday.
The Inverted Hammer formed on Friday does provide some hope. Though the colour of the Hammer does not really matter the white body does add to the bullishness. However the Inverted Hammer does require confirmation for which we will have to wait till Monday. A open above 3210 and a white candle would provide confirmation for the Inverted Hammer. Let us keep our fingers crossed.
Warm regards
